2014 archery deer tag

[creed]

I've been to several places trying to buy a 2014 OTC deer tag. Same story every place I have been......can't sell them until Jan.1, 2014. Called the Phoenix G&F office and the lady in the license department said if I wanted to come into the office they could generate one off of the computer but they aren't available any other way right now. She said it was due to the restructuring of the licenses.

 

I have a hunt scheduled for Jan. 1 and don't want to be standing in line to buy a freakin' deer tag so I guess I will drive to the Carefree office Monday. There has to be a better way of managing things than this.

I purchased the super conservation license, with that received all my tags with it. I did this at the Tucson G&F.

I've already purchased 2014 archery & lion at the Tucson office. I have to go in for the family license deal anyway before the javelina draw to get our licenses. I can see how that could be an inconvenience for someone w/o a local office for sure.

Pretty crappy planning by AZGFD....how many places that sell tags will even be open on Jan 1 anyway?

Got my 2014 license, lion and archery deer tag at the carefree office. Got 2 hogalina tags as well.

Looks like I'm taking a day off from work to drive to G & F office.

I was eight in line last monday when leftover tags went on sale for walk in purchase. I also purchased my archery deer and Mt lion tags along with three Javi tags........my son and I will try to help my girlfriend take her first game animal, should be fun! 17B here we come!!!

Just curious about the left over pig tags........do you have to fill out an application and take it in or do you just tell them what hunt number you want?

[jeremiah lindsey]

have to go to azgfd office

[azslim]

when I did it many years back just told them what unit and if there were any left they gave it to you

I have always filled out the app and handed it to them. Lets me pass the time in line.

OK, went up to the Carefree office and bought a 2014 deer and lion tag. It was pretty painless. They were helping a couple of other guys at the booths and one customer service rep was waiting for me

 

There still should be a better way of handling things than this. I am not a big bitcher when it comes to the Dept but it sucks to drive 80 miles one way to get a deer tag.

What a pain in the rear! Sorry to hear you had to drive so far Bruce. Hope things are going well otherwise.
